The System 580: Other Moore’s Laws

May 14th, 2012

In addition to the famous “Moore’s Law” of computing, did you ever think about the other Moores? Alan Moore, Roger Moore, and Michael Moore have their own laws. Or rather, they do now.

If you like this one, check out my other reference to Moore’s Law, Rosscott’s Law and The Inverse Law of Computing.

Oh, and expect moore of these soon.

This is of course log base 2 of A, right?
- rosscott
  
  Yes the Y-axis is exponential in scale.
- Seth
  
  Unless and until it is properly labeled, I'm just going to assume it's factorial in scale, with units of bananas squared per newton-mebibyte.
Rossmom

Yes, I see the progression there.

Another Law, although not a Moore's Law: Ratio of a Moms' patience to children's questions–can't be quantified on any chart of any kind!
- ___
  
  No. A ratio necessarily implies division which is defined, in this case, for all non-zero quantities of children's questions. This is easily visualized as a linear function and more concisely expressed as a single rational number.

“Numer” of problems in America? (Sorry, had to be *that* guy)

And also; “Mooring Law” A:The Boat Won’t Fit. B:The Boat will not fit. (For sufficiently large boats.)

working on Mary Tyler Moore's Law…
could be "A: Season Number, B: Frequency of saying "Oh, Loooou…"
A: Presence of Cute Kitty in Logo, B: Number of Viewers Who Don't Change the Channel Until The Credits End (a less steep upward line represents "Ubu's Law")
or an inverse ratio… A: Show's Success, B: Length of Title (her biggest post-MTM failure was a variety show titled "Mary")

and then we can work on Demi Moore, Dudley Moore, Ronald B. Moore and Thomas Moore…
Rossmom

Clayton Moore's Law could be: Frequency of the # of times "Who was that masked man?"
Gary Moore: Frequency of Gary Moore being confused w/Garry Moore the tv host?

I’ve also heard the Michael Moore one as the “Proctologist’s view of _____”
If you spend enough time looking at a**holes, you start to think that is all there is.

  “because the wars are over and the cost is not a long term cost.”
  
  You need to provide a source for your silly baseless assertions.
  
  I’ll wait.
